Chennai: Commercial vehicles major Ashok Leyland on Monday said it will suspend work at its various manufacturing facilities across the country this month in order to adjust production with market demand.
The company, which manufactures a range of heavy and light commercial vehicles, said it will shut production across its plants for certain periods during September.
“Following are the non-working days at our various plant locations during September 2019 due to continued weak demand for our products,” the Hinduja Group flagship firm said in a regulatory filing.
The firm announced 16 non-working days for its facility in Ennore, five days at Hosur (Tamil Nadu) unit, 10 days each in Alwar (Rajasthan) and Bhandara (Maharashtra) unit and 18 days in Pantnagar (Uttarakhand) facilities.
The company’s move comes in the wake of unprecedented slowdown in the domestic automobile industry. (PTI)
